Hi all,
I have been motivated by all you restarters to have another go at CD. I lost about 1.5 stones just before Christmas (had lost half a stone before starting) and did quite well maintaining (well, putting on 2-3lbs then taking it off again, then doing it all again) up until three weeks ago. Then it all went haywire.
Last week I was away with work for 6 days. The week before, I was working like hell and I had one child already on school holidays so the stress made me eat. When I was away, fantastic food was put in front of me morning noon and night and, of course, I couldn't resist. Now I seem to have lost all restraint. I now have three kids off school and I still have a mountain of work to do and I just don't seem to be able to deal with the stress in any other way. Pathetic, I know.
I had got down to 10st 10lbs, was in size 12 jeans and I felt brilliant. I'm now about 11st 3lbs, all my new clothes feel tight and I feel horrible.
I know I can't restart CD until the kids are all back at school, but I am going to try to cut down and keep off the chardonnay!! Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hi". You guys helped me do it last time, so I'm hoping I can get back on it again.
